I miss my 8250. :( 
 It was an awesome machine too.  Three cabinets, four RA-81
drives and a
 TU-81+ tape drive.  I paid $500 for it, straight out of the machine room 
  at
  Mannesmann-Tally in Kent, WA in the early
90's. 
 Nice rig.
 I still have my 8300 in the basement that I rescued when my employer
 closed in the mid 1990s (we bought it as a bare 8200, second-hand for
 $13000, then I nabbed a compatible CPU module for around $100-$200.
 
The biggest I ever brought home was a rack 4000. It was just a rack and the
computer. No drives :(
